I Chose Light...

Who says Gandhari existed only in Mahabharata? There are many around and I was one of them...

Getting married early and settling in a wealthy house was "the" achievement of the life then. The life never existed beyond the thresholds of the house. Everything that defined my existence revolved around husband and children. "What a bliss the life is", I used to think!

Fortunes change without giving even the short notice...

The riches flew away like the migratory birds! Without husband to support and children to be taken care of, I had to step out of the threshold. The blind folds on my mind, my beliefs dissolved like the thin air...There was no place for an uneducated widow, either in hearts or at work!

But I chose light...

Its all a history now!

Thanks for visit! Actually it was a coincidence that I am reading a book on Mahabharata right now. After looking at the prompt, I could not resist to draw parallels to the character of Gandhari... a modern day Gandhari who wishes to let go of her wrong beliefs!!!

As Mamta Sharma rightly said , we women have a sixth sense and can withstand any adversity. I loved your unique take. Anagha, of the prompt centre-staging the mythological character Gandhari . Education and knowledge of the world outside the domestic threshold is necessary.
